Two wrongs don't make a right. You would BOTH be sinners.
She is already sinning by FORCING CELIBACY within the marriage.
Your committing ADULTERY would only make matters worse.
So, YES you would be sinning by commission.
She is sinning by omission.

Yes... sex outside of marriage is called Adultery whither by consent or not.
Furthermore, According to God... the thought or fantasy is the same as the act.
I say this because it is true, not to condemn you, but rather to point you to the truth.
I encourage you to read the Gospels in the new testament, there you will find the truth that will transform your life.
Your questions about sex and more importantly "relationships" will not only be answered, but will take on a much deeper meaning.

Biblically speaking sex outside of marriage is a sin
Your spouse does not and cannot absolve you of sin
And technically speaking it is a sin for a spouse to withhold sex from their spouse.
Talk to you wife, find out why she refuses...get counseling as a couple, and seperately. Get a medical check up for the wife, there maybe a medical reason for it. More than likely if it's not medical it's emotional or phsycological.

Yes if you believe extramarital affairs are a sin. Don't lower yourself to that level. Talk to her and in a nonthreatening way let her know you are having thoughts about getting it elsewhere because she is not giving it to you. Refusing to have sex is a form of emotional abuse. There is a good book called "The Emotionally Abusive Relationship" by Beverly Engel. If she still refuses to have sex after you've tried everything then get a divorce. There are plenty of women out there who like it.

What should a sin is that your wife refuses to give you sex. If she doesn't do it then who is supposed to. It's an interesting sign of self-restraint that you should even ask the question and that you respect her enough not to try to force yourself on her. If either of you care about sinning then what she's doing is forcing you to make a choice while she gets to take the high ground no matter what happens. I suppose you can get on porn and j***-off. See if she likes that better. Unfortunately it is a sin. Sorry about your problem.

Whether you believe in God or not, it's just plain wrong. Personally, I believe it is sin to cheat. Do you love your wife? Have you tried counseling? Do everything you possibly can to save the marriage if you really love your wife. If you've done everything possible and your wife still isn't interested in sex or if you don't love your wife then, please, end your marriage before you start up another relationship. It's just common decency to not cheat on your wife whether the marriage lasts or not.

In the religion I was "taught" in, yes. But even leaving religion out, it's still not right to cheat on her. Don't the vows say you'll stay faithful? Did you mean them, or where your lips just flapping when you said them to her? Find out why she's refusing. If you can't come to some kind of compromise on it, and you really need sex, then get out of the relationship first before you jump into one with someone else. It's a lot less messy.

What about everything else that comes with marriage? maybe you should try talking to your wife to find out why she refuses to have sex with you. Is being with someone else really worth losing your wife over.

Yes, it's wrong. You need to find out what's going on in your relationship. Maybe she needs for you to be a little more romantic with her. Try to make things better at home instead of going outside of your marriage. That is never the answer.

Good question you have here.I myself have asked this question,I truly believe it you have to evaluate all that it involves, such as the effect that would have if it was exposed or exploited to your children,your families,friends.You could end up being a worse victim than you are now.It is something to consider.I made a choice awhile back not to.I placed my needs on hold .I placed my energy's into my children and finding out what I NEED TO DO WITH THIS RELATIONSHIP. In being fair to all that are involved.It's definitely a delicate position you have here if i knew all the variables I may be able to share more

Unfortunately yes..u took a vow to forsake all others, good times and in bad.. yadda yadda yadda.. so yes its a sin.. which i know is hard because sex is a big part of a healthy marriage, and even in the bible it clearly states, that a wife should never deny her husband sex, nor should a husband deny his wife..
